1. Safety instructions

• In the event of flash shots with full light output
observe an interval of at least 3 minutes after a
series of 20 flashes. This will protect the flash-
gun against overload.
• NEVER place material that is impervious to light
in front of, or directly on, the reflector screen.
The reflector screen must be perfectly clean
when a flash is fired. The high energy of the
flash light will burn the material or damage the
screen if this is not observed!
• NEVER dismantle the flashgun! DANGER: HIGH
VOLTAGE! There are no components inside the
flashgun that can be repaired by a layperson.
